Please try to get this game added soon...FLO8, PLO8, and NLO8. Others and I have been waiting patiently on this for quite awhile now. It's completely understandable that it couldn't be added right away, in order to speed up the release of your site. But now that things seem to have settled in a bit, it's really time to get this added.

O8 games are great and variations like fixed limit would be awesome. There are very few US facing sites that offer it.

I agree on adding fixed limit O/8, but which US facing sites don't offer it? I have accounts at 5 including the 2 big ones and they all have it.

I meant as far as MTTs go. The cash games tend to have tumbleweeds blowing through them. The largest US facing network had a FL tourney a year ago in a promo series and it was a large entry field. I'd just like to see a site that has them regularly. ;(

I'd like to see O/8 added to both eventually.

Not enough omaha traffic on the site - no need to further thin out the games.

I don't think it's that simple. They have the mechanics of the 4 card hand deal down but programming hi/low split for non poker playing developers probably isn't a pieceofcake.

I think (hope) they get there eventually but not sure how quickly it's reasonable to expect this.

You're just marrying razz logic to preexisting Omaha hi logic, coding in the split-pot logic, and some other little stuff.

Also, I think good programmers would be amused at the notion of needing to be experienced players to code the game/split-pot logic competently

They don't need to be experienced players at all. They do however need an experienced player consulting with them so get all the programming nuances right.

Hi guys this is definitely on the pad so thanks for bringing it up.

As you can appreciate at the moment this issue (like most of the ones that are raised) is a balance between what effect it will have on our other tables (i.e spread the traffic too thin) and prioritization in the development teams work queue.

We must make sure any changes that are introduced are beneficial and done correctly.

All of these things are on the to do list. We just want to make sure we do them the right way instead of chucking everything in at once.
